Description

A flaw was found in Netpbm. The tgatoppm converter fails to validate pixel values against color map bounds in the get_pixel() function. By supplying a specially crafted color-mapped Targa file, an attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read. This flaw can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) through an application crash or result in information disclosure by leaking adjacent memory into the generated image.
